Bienvenidos! In this one-time class, kids will prepare for their unique trip to southern Mexico! This is no run-of-the-mill trip to Cancun.  Take advantage of my 7 years of experience living and traveling around Mexico. 

We'll practice some basic introductions in Spanish, so kids will be able to meet and greet the local Oaxacan people on their trip. Your kids will also learn about some eccentric Indigenous foods. Fried crickets, anyone?

To get your kids fully engaged, this class features:
-a Spanish vocabulary review game
-a full-length slide presentation, featuring photos of Oaxaca (custom designed)
-a Jeopardy trivia game (custom designed)
-a video tour of Zapotec ruins in Mitla, sourced from YouTube

This is not only a basic Spanish class; this is cultural immersion. Your children will be ready for a REAL trip to Mexico, the local way. I'll guide the students through Spanish conversation, discussion of Oaxacan cuisine and archaeology, and chatting about special travel experiences.  No prior knowledge of Spanish, Zapotec, or Mexico is required for this class.

Do you have your plane tickets yet?


***NOT FOR PARENTS:  There is a clip from a YouTube video featured in this class. It lasts under 2 minutes, and is used to bring the ruins of Mitla to life. This video is not in any way a substitute for my live instruction, and it is not intended for pure entertainment. I carefully selected an applicable video to show the students in this lesson the ruins in a way that pictures just can't.

All handouts and printable pages are custom designed by me personally.
